FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Handball Spezial has a standard low-profile fit. If you have wider feet, you may find the standard width snug and might consider going up a half-size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand-clean these shoes. The washing machine can damage the adhesive and the leather material.
Are these unisex?
While listed for men, the design is a classic unisex style that fits any adult provided the correct size conversion is used.
Do they provide good arch support?
The shoe features a flat sole profile. Users who require significant arch support may want to consider adding aftermarket orthotic insoles.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to scrub the rubber, then wipe away any excess residue with a clean cloth.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the lace material is dry, as damp laces can slip more easily.
Creasing on the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Handball Spezials last, keep them clean by wiping the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals on the leather, as this can degrade the material over time. If the leather gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent cracking. For the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted evenly from the bottom eyelets upward. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent color fading and leather stiffening.
